For detailed landscaping, Greenworks electric hedge trimmers provide excellent control and power and appeal to the eco-conscious consumer. Their corded models are lightweight, and their cordless models hold a decent charge and are more maneuverable. Their blades are on the larger side, making Greenworks hedge trimmers a good choice for homeowners with large hedges. Blades come in a range of lengths for a variety of plants and hedges. Some trimmers may have multiple handle positions for tricky angles and details, and all Greenworks hedge trimmers have moderately sized shields for your protection. Greenworks trimmers have dual action steel blades for tough and clean trimming.
